I had a front end impact with a guard rail in my 2002 Jeep Liberty at a speed between 50 and 60 mph bringing the vehicle to an almost instant stop. The airbags failed to deploy. I was slammed against the dashboard injuring my knees and my wife is receiving continuing medical treatment for the neck and back injuries she sustained. I contacted Jeep in December 2009 about the issue, a spokesperson for Jeep called me back and told me that, "if the airbags didn't go off then they must not have needed to."

At approximately 8 P.M. my boyfriend and I were traveling at approximately 45-50 mph when the front of my 2002 Jeep Liberty struck the front wheel of another drivers vehicle as they pulled out and neglected to yield the right of way. There was extensive damage to both vehicles which needed to be towed away. We went to the hospital with whiplash, knee, chest, shoulder, and back injuries. The other driver was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. Many people were curious as to why our airbags did not deploy. I think if they had deployed it may have prevented some of the injuries that were caused do to this accident.

On February 16, 2005 while traveling eastbound I-80 in salt lake city I hit some black ice and lost control of my 2002 Jeep Liberty. I was traveling freeway speeds and had a front impact along with a driver side rollover and a slide of approximately 100 yards. All of the emergency personnel that responded to my accident voiced shock and concern that none of the airbags deployed. Further, I have heard that if the G-force was not great enough to deploy the side airbags, the Jeep should not have rolled (I have no idea if that is true). I had, and still have, serious concerns about why my airbags did not deploy and do not trust that in the event of another accident they would deploy, regardless of the severity. I contacted Jeep and asked them to look into it. They did do some investigation. However, I was told that because my Jeep was not preserved for their inspection there was nothing they could do. I have sent them several E-mails explaining that I do have photo that document the damage and show that the airbag did not deploy. They have just disregarded my complaints. I also have concerns about the ease in which my Jeep rolled over. This concern has also been dismissed. I would like to know that my family is going to be safe if anther unfortunate accident occurs.

I was on my way to work, came upon an intersection that a truck was coming to a stop sign. He stopped and than proceded to pull out in front of me. I had no time to react and not hit the truck. I basically T-boned it. It was barely moving and I was doing about 45 mph. At impact. My airbags never deployed. I ended up hitting my head into the steering wheel and 19 stitches into my head and slid down into my seat enough to Ram both of my knee's into the dashboard. My Jeep Liberty was a total loss, $8500 in damages to it. I contacted Jeep and they responded with there was nothing wrong with the airbag system. I just don't believe that a crash with this much impact that were wasn't a problem with the system.

I ordered my Jeep Liberty 7/01 and picked it up 9/01. The morning of 4/4/04 I was driving home and started crashing into trees. The car was spinning, back and forth across the road - hit 3 trees, mailboxes and a telephone pole (hard enough that even though it was the last thing that I hit, it moved enough that it tore the cables out of someone's house). About 50 feet before the 1st tree, was my front passenger tire and about 2 feet of the axle (or whatever holds the rim and tire on the truck). The front of the truck from the right front quarter panel to 1/3 across the front of the truck is up inside the dashboard, the back driver's tire is blown out, the spare tire on the back is smashed, the 2 passenger side doors are smashed and the entire truck is off the frame. I told the tow driver and police about the recall that I'd just gotten that stated that the "a ball joint that has separated from the knuckle could result in loss of vehicle directional control and could result in a crash." I had an appointment to get it fixed 4/6/04...the accident was 4/4/04. My injuries: Airbags didn't go off but I was wearing my seatbelt. I broke my arm (8 weeks in cast, 6 weeks in a brace and I'm still in physical therapy. Standard seatbelt bruise that lasted more than 3 weeks, and the associated pain. My insurance is covering my medical and the replacement of the car (with financing, it paid exactly what I owed). So, even though Jeep knew about the need for a recall in October 2003, I wasn't notified until March 2004. It was a clear dry night. I was awake and coherent, not speeding or drinking, and paying attention when I suddenly lost control. In fact, it's [xxx] lucky that I was only going 35-40. Jeep claims they're not responsible. All I want is for them to admit that they were at fault. If they'd sent the recall notice in a timely manner, back in 10-11/03, it would have been fixed prior to another winter of snow and sleet and crap getting into that joint to corrode it! information redacted pursuant to the freedom
